Stingy Husband Farming

Chapter 10 Pension money

Mrs. Liu pinched her waist and stared at old man Shen: "When we separated, we established a written document. Dad is illiterate, so I can read it to you. The three of us left the house without taking a penny from the old house. Mi, I didn’t live in the old house and there was a piece of tile and a piece of land. From then on, except for the old-age money that Brother Wen gave you two taels of silver every year, our family’s money has nothing to do with the old house. Now that Brother Wen has just left, Dad came to ask for it Money, are you bullying our orphans and widows?"

Old man Shen was so angry at Liu's words that he couldn't catch his breath. He was choked by the smoke and coughed for a long time before he recovered.And Mrs. Liu pulled Shen Mu, acting like an old hen protecting its cubs, the two of them just looked at him and coughed, no one came to pat him on the back and drool!

These two unfilial guys!The old man Shen managed to catch his breath, and said bitterly: "I don't want your family's wealth, what I want is the silver for my son's life! He was born by me, and my flesh and blood bleed on him. You should also pay me, you vicious woman, are you trying to steal my son's life money!"

"Flesh and blood? Daddy, do you have the nerve to mention them? Brother Mu also has the blood of your old Shen family, do you treat him as flesh and blood?" When mentioning the flesh and blood, Liu became even more angry, "Besides, who said this? 30 taels are money to pay for your life, so you don’t need to spend money on Brother Wen’s funeral?”

"The boss's funeral should be handled by his younger generation. If he doesn't lose money, why don't you take care of the boss's funeral?" Old man Shen snorted coldly, "With the boss gone, our old couple will lose two taels a year." The old-age money of silver, it must be that the magistrate of the county took pity on us and asked us to pay 30 taels of silver for our retirement. You must give me the 30 taels of silver, not a penny less!"

"It's ridiculous, if the magistrate thinks so, why doesn't he give you the money directly, but let Brother Mu take it?"

Old man Shen saw that Liu Shi and Shen Mu didn't move their footsteps, and looked like he didn't pay attention to him, so he simply stood up, lifted the curtain of the door, went into the back room, and searched for it by himself.

There is no way to be good now, and don't think about going to the county early today.Mrs. Liu was very helpless, no matter how much she hated the old man Shen and his wife, she just had a good time with her lips, and she couldn't really go into the house to tease her father-in-law - she said it herself just now, it's against the rules for a widowed daughter-in-law and her husband to be in the same room .

Shen Mu couldn't even go, and nothing Liu said would make his son's reputation worse.

"I'll be guarding in the yard. You go to the village chief's house and ask the old village chief to come over." She gritted her teeth, "Just tell the truth, your master broke into my house!"

Shen Mu was embarrassed, he didn't know how his mother met his master, it was like a different person.

Although it is true that Old Man Shen entered Liu's house, it is hard to say, and there is a huge amount of information behind it.I don't know how Liu can even gain his own reputation in order to destroy the old man Shen. This kind of trick is simply killing eight hundred enemies and self-defeating one thousand.

At this moment, Old Man Shen was already rummaging in the house.After turning over and over, his eyes still fell on the cabinet beside Liu's bed.

There is no way, there is a lock hanging on the cabinet, isn't it telling people "the money is in me"?

But without the key, Old Man Shen couldn't open it, and couldn't get the money.Don't even think about asking Liu Shi for the key, Liu Shi not only won't give it to him, but is still crying at the gate of the yard.It caused the neighbors to step on their feet and look into their yard.

Old man Shen knew that his breaking into his daughter-in-law's house was a bit unsightly, but was it because Mrs. Liu, an unfilial person, refused to obediently hand over the money?Now he's so shameless to let this matter out to the public!

Old man Shen gritted his teeth, and simply moved the whole cabinet to the yard, and then found something to break the lock.

When the old village head was invited by Shen Mu, what he saw was Mrs. Liu sitting at the gate of the courtyard and crying, while old Shen was in the courtyard, smashing the lock with a stone.From time to time, a watchful head popped up from the low courtyard wall, seeing the ashen face of the old village chief, he lowered himself embarrassingly.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to lose face!" The old village chief trembled with anger.Shen Mu came to invite him early in the morning, and told him that his grandfather had gone to his house, and the old village head felt bad.Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Shen's family always had a big grudge. Boss Shen and Ms. Liu had such a good relationship, Mrs. Liu could say that they would reconcile without separating the family.

Now that the two are facing each other, the old village head is afraid that they will fight!

When they got to Shen Mu's house, although they didn't fight, they couldn't see where they were going.One opened the door and cried heart-rendingly, fearing that the villagers would not hear or see; the other was shameless, and broke the lock directly in the yard of the other person's yard, what if he wanted to rob him openly?

"Brother Hall, you have wronged me. It's all because the eldest daughter-in-law is unfilial!" The old man Shen slammed it hard, and the lock was finally overwhelmed and the lock was broken open. Copper coins, in total, are not enough for consistent money.

But he was only looking for money, but he didn't notice that the cabinet was Mrs. Liu's bedside cabinet, and it contained the personal clothes of Boss Shen and Mrs. Liu... At this time, Old Man Shen dug it out and fell outside, and the onlookers I saw it all.

"What am I doing alive? Brother Wen, why don't you take me there... woo woo..." Mrs. Liu covered her face and cried hissingly: "Back then when we went out of the house, we clearly said that the money we earned would be the same as that of the old house. It doesn't matter, now you come to ask for money as soon as you leave your father-in-law, and bully our orphans and widows..."

"Who bullied you? It's obvious that you were greedy for the boss's life-paying money and refused to take it out!" Old man Shen stiffened his neck and couldn't find the money. Of course he couldn't let it go so easily.But he said that he didn't bully Shen Mu's mother and son, but the evidence was at his feet, scattered all over the floor.

Even the old village chief felt his old face was flushed, so he quickly called two grandma who were watching the fun to help Mrs. Liu pack up her clothes.It's all his shameless cousin!How could such a thing be done? If word got out that their husbands in Shenjiatun dared to bully their daughters-in-law like this, which village would dare to marry their girls and brothers into their Shenjiatun?

The ethos of their entire village will be ruined by Old Man Shen!

"Just tell me if you have something to do! How can there be someone who robs his son and grandson's house?!" The old village head avoided the word daughter-in-law.

"Hmph," old man Shen glared at Mrs. Liu, and complained to his cousin: "It's all caused by this unfilial woman. My eldest is gone. The county magistrate took pity on us and no one to support us, so he paid us 30 Two silver coins, but the eldest daughter-in-law got greedy! I just smashed the cabinet."

The villagers whispered to each other.Everyone knows that Boss Shen is gone, and the gambling house paid 30 taels of silver, and the official sent it to the village to hand over to Shen Mu himself.When it came to Old Man Shen's mouth, why did it become for the old couple?

Shen Mu helped Mrs. Liu stand up, and then handed a towel to wipe his mother's tears: "At that time, the official came and gave me the money directly, saying that it was for our family, but he didn't say what kind of money was offered."

"Master Guan must have been deceived by you!" The old man Shen said, and he believed his own words: "The boss is the flesh that fell from our old couple, and it is our flesh and blood. If he is gone, the money will be gone." We should be compensated!"

Liu covered her face and cried: "The family is divided. It was agreed back then that we don't need a penny to leave the house. The money in the family will have nothing to do with the old house in the future. The papers were established back then."

Each is justified.The old village chief also had a headache, and finally decided to hit [-] boards each.

But in his heart, he still favors Shen Mu.People always take pity on the weak side, and the old village head is not exempt.Besides, when he entered the door, the way old man Shen smashed Liu's cabinet also gave him a lot of points.

In the end, the old village head judged that the 30 taels of silver, except the 20 taels used for the funeral of Boss Shen, the remaining 30 taels were divided into three shares, one for each of Shen Mu, the Liu family, and the elders of the Shen family.Both parties were reluctant. Old man Shen felt that the [-] taels should be his own, while Liu Shi and Shen Mu felt that they should not give him a penny.

But Shen Mu and Liu didn't dare to refute what the old village chief decided.The prestige of the old village head is still very high in the village.

Old man Shen is different.Although he was also afraid of his cousin at first, but now, his little grandson has been taken away by the gambling house, and his grandson can't come back without money!

"Brother Hall, which family can use ten taels for a funeral? Your judgment is unfair!"

The old village chief's eyelids twitched.For so many years, no one has dared to question his authority: "Brother Mu is filial, and he hired a team that specializes in making white mats in the town for Boy Wen, can it be the same as the casual ones in the village? Don't say anything else, just do it on purpose. Can the custom-made auspicious basin be the same as the one you just took out?"

It directly took old man Shen's face off.

In fact, Boss Shen's funeral did cost a lot of money. The coffin alone was made of cypress wood and cost a total of five taels of silver.The other funeral music teams, coffin bearers, and the banquet on the day of the funeral, there are eight taels if not ten.

Especially the coffin has been placed in Shen's house for a few days, and anyone in the village with eyes can see that it is a good coffin.The people in the village are poor, and those who can use willow wood with three or five boards are filial sons and grandchildren, or they are willing to prepare before their death, four or six boards, or four or six boards of cypress, which is rare.

"Humph, I'm getting old, I don't want to do good deeds for the younger generation, I just want to get money from the children..." The old village chief looked at his cigarette pipe and pot, this is the real momentum: "20 taels It’s not easy to divide into three parts, and white things count as nine taels, and 21 taels are divided into three parts, so give him seven taels.” The old village head said to Shen Mu, mother and son: “Don’t feel that you are at a loss. Wen Xiaozi is gone. The two liang of old-age pension is fine. From now on, Brother Mu’s family has nothing to do with the old house. Boy Wen is gone, and there is still Wu boy. Naturally, there is no need for a grandson to provide for the elderly if there is a son.”

Old man Shen was unhappy, feeling that his big brother was biased and did things unfairly.Besides, as far as Shen Laoer's virtue is concerned, his family is almost ruined by him, and he is still counting on him to provide for the elderly?

But I also know that it's useless to make a fuss about what his big cousin has made a decision, and even the seven taels of silver will be lost.With these seven taels of silver, two acres of dry land can be saved.

Mrs. Liu went to the house, took out seven taels of silver from the bag she was wearing, and handed it to Shen Mu.Fortunately, today was to go to the county to buy someone, so Mrs. Liu put all the family's money on her body, and didn't let old man Shen search it.

Shen Mu held the seven taels of silver, but hesitated a little.

Shen Mu wants to take revenge.

He rolled his eyes and said to old man Shen: "Master, I actually know that you don't want to ask my family for money at all."

Old man Shen: "???" I don't want to ask your family for money?I can't wait to have all your money in my hands...

Shen Mu didn't care about the old man Shen's eyeballs about to fall out, and said to the old village chief and the surrounding villagers: "My father is the most kind, how could he persecute our orphans and widowed mothers? Someone must be behind the scenes." Shen Mu When Mu mentioned the word kindness, he had goosebumps all over his body: "My grandfather has a house and a field at home, and every year my father returns two taels of silver for pensions. He lives so well, why would he still stare at my little money? ?”

Of course it's because Shen Laoer lost his money in gambling, and the people in the gambling shop are going to sell his house and land!Everyone present was clear in their hearts.

"What the village chief's grandfather said just now is wrong. Although my grandfather has a son, it depends on whether the son is reliable or not!"

These words reached Old Man Shen's heart.

"If you take this money back, I'm going to use it to pay off the debt to Second Uncle." Shen Mu gritted his teeth and spit out the words "Second Uncle".Killing his father and enemy, how can he be called uncle? "What about paying off the debt? The land is also sold, what will my master rely on for food and drink?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned by Shen Mu's words, is her son stupid?Do you care how he eats and drinks?She tugged at Shen Mu's sleeve, but Shen Mu waved his hand.

The old village head hesitated for a moment, and asked Shen Mu: "Mu Geer, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, my grandfather won't be able to spend the money if I take it back, so it's better to keep it with me."

Old man Shen has blue veins in his head, he just doesn't want to give money after all!Say so many nice words!Just as he was about to get angry, Shen Mu's next sentence stunned him: "If my father doesn't want the seven taels of silver, it will destroy the feelings of our grandparents and grandchildren. Of course I can't just leave my father alone. At the beginning, what my father promised Two taels of silver per year for retirement, I am willing to continue to pay for my father!"

"I can make a written statement, even if I get married in the future, I will still give it!"
